CHAPTER

Identity Politics in Leftist Discourse

This chapter examines the transition within leftist politics from universalist approaches to an emphasis on identity group politics. It highlights the complexities and implications of identity politics, particularly the historical entrenchment of white supremacy, while advocating for the recognition of diverse struggles against oppression. The conversation also addresses contemporary issues, such as critical race theory, and the ongoing debates surrounding race, identity, and historical injustices in shaping future societal frameworks.
